By settling with Donald Trump over their content-moderation policies following January 6, Big Tech companies "can pivot toward dispensing with the work of moderation altogether," @cwarzel.bsky.social argues in The Atlantic Daily.

Trump used a private platform to attack democracy and foment and insurrection.

Any responsible corporation would boot him off.

Kimmel told a joke about magats and was punished to scare everyone else into compliance.

FIshpaw thinks its a flex to compare the POTUS threatening democracy to a late night comedian making a joke.

Well, Trump IS a joke...

You're too clueless to know what actually happened, let alone how the issues relate.

Nobody has a right to use a platform to foment insurrection.

It's sad this isn't understood by the republicans.

Yet they cheered when a joke about Trump not caring about Charlie Kirk pissed them off so bad they let actual censorship fly.

And before you say it, yes, that's what he did. He wasn't "targeted" because he was political opposition.

Only stupid cultists tout that line with a straight face.
